When you trying to install Nodejs on Amazon Linux machine and when execute below command
nvm install nodeYou may encounter below error:
v18.0.0 is already installed.
node: /lib64/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.27' not found (required by node)
node: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.28' not found (required by node)
nvm is not compatible with the npm config "prefix" option: currently set to ""
Run `nvm use --delete-prefix v18.0.0` to unset it.
[ec2-user@ip-xx-xxx-xx-xx ~]$ node -e "console.log('Running Node.js ' + process.version)"
-bash: node: command not found
Now, you want to know why this error occurred. The above error occurred because you using latest version not Active LTS Version.
For Detail Explanation:
Major Node.js versions enter Current release status for six months, which gives library authors time to add support for them. After six months, odd-numbered releases (9, 11, etc.) become unsupported, and even-numbered releases (10, 12, etc.) move to Active LTS status and are ready for general use. LTS release status is “long-term support”, which typically guarantees that critical bugs will be fixed for a total of 30 months. Production applications should only use Active LTS or Maintenance LTS releases.

during writing of this article, Active LTS version is 16. So, install version 16.
